Dear Colleagues, UNDP Botswana is completing the Botswana Human Development Report on Harnessing science and technology for human development. This includes ICTs.
We are interested in case studies and applications showing the use of SMS by SMMEs and by businesses in general in the developing world or that may be applicable to the developing world and especially to Botswana. Can you point us in the right direction, suggest urls, etc.? We will share results with the list. Note that in Botswana, which has a highly developed telecommunications infrastructure and a very progressive and liberal regulatory regime, cellular phone coverage reaches potentially 90% of the population. There are over 332,000 cell phones and over 150,000 land lines in a country of 1.7 million people (up from 0 cell phones in 1997). Over 100,000 SMS messages are exchanged daily according to one of the two cell phone operators on just one of the two networks. Many thanks, Richard Labelle, Consultant Team Leader, UNDP, Botswana Human Dev.
